Amax Engineering

Design & Engineering

Engineering Discipline for AI, HPC, Edge and Rack-Scale Systems

AMAX works with ISVs to translate workload, software, and deployment requirements into production-ready hardware platforms. Our multidisciplinary engineering teams develop system-level architectures across compute, acceleration, memory, storage, networking, power, thermal, mechanical, electrical, firmware, and system management while balancing performance targets with manufacturability, serviceability, site constraints, and long-term product support.

Key Capabilities

System Architecture and Platform Definition
AMAX translates workload, environmental, operational, and commercial requirements into a complete system architecture. Engineering considerations include processor and accelerator selection, memory capacity, storage architecture, network connectivity, PCIe topology, power allocation, system management, and future expansion.
Mechanical and Industrial Design
Our mechanical engineering team develops system layouts around enclosure dimensions, component placement, structural requirements, cable routing, accessibility, and field service needs. Designs account for rack compatibility, installation constraints, component replacement, and repeatable production.
Thermal and Cooling Engineering
AMAX evaluates component heat loads, airflow paths, fan performance, thermal zones, rack density, and facility conditions to establish an appropriate cooling design. Engineering support covers air-cooled and liquid-cooled platforms, including cold-plate configurations, coolant distribution, leak-management considerations, and rack-level cooling requirements.
Electrical and Power Design
Electrical engineering covers power budgets, power-supply selection, redundancy, distribution, cabling, protection, and compatibility across system components. For rack-scale systems, AMAX also evaluates total rack power, connector requirements, power distribution, and deployment-site constraints.
Software-Aligned Hardware Configuration
Hardware configurations are developed around the application stack and intended workload. AMAX evaluates compute density, accelerator requirements, memory behavior, storage performance, network bandwidth, operating-system compatibility, firmware dependencies, and management requirements to create a balanced platform.
Design for Manufacturing and Service
Engineering decisions account for repeatable assembly, component availability, test access, cable management, maintenance, and replacement procedures. This approach prepares the design for prototype builds and a structured NPI process while reducing avoidable production changes.

Engineering Across Advanced Computing Platforms

AMAX supports design programs across:

  • GPU and accelerator-based AI systems
  • HPC servers and compute nodes
  • Edge computing and industrial platforms
  • Storage and data-intensive systems
  • Purpose-built software appliances
  • Air-cooled and liquid-cooled servers
  • High-density rack-scale infrastructure

Each platform is engineered around its workload, installation environment, performance targets, service model, and expected product lifecycle.
